Powers Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Great place for a quick lunch. Real good sliders that are way better than anything I have ever had from one of the "corporate" type places that specialize in these sandwiches. Filling, cheap, and fast. Lots of local flavor in here too, folks from all walks of life wander in to grab a few mini-burgers and be on their way. Worth a stop. read more

Powers Hamburgers - Menu as of 6/5/15. Note prices of hamburger up to $1.25. Still great deal. - Burgers Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Much better service than Culver's on West Jefferson. The layout of powers is more conducive to a hangout than it is over there, however. I really like the creative burgers and chilly options at Powers. My burger had grilled onions and cheese on it. I mean come on. And nobody can tell me that their shakes aren't the bomb. Because they are. Where else can you get a shake with your meal? Then be too full to throw in a piece of pie or a cake? Genius. I left happy as a clam and full as a bull. ____________ | POWERS | | __ | | | | | O O O O O O O O O | | | | / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ | | | | / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ |_____ |__|___ | | | DON'T BE THIS GUY!

Food is great. Environment and service leave much to be desired. It could really use some modernization. For example if you try to pay with a card, you have to verbally tell the waitress the tip before she runs the card. There is almost no seating area so do not plan to bring a big group. You're sitting so close to other people at the bar and it's so crowded and quiet that almost no one is talking. A bit awkward. If they adopted a more traditional restaurant layout with tables and such (this would require expansion) it would allow for a much better and less awkward dining experience. Again, burgers were awesome but we will not return given the environment of the restaurant. read more

I've been eating here since I was in elementary school. This place has always been a Fort Wayne classic. However lately it seems like every time I go they get worse and worse. I ordered lite onions like always and that is apparently no onions. Not to mention they looked and tasted like burnt charcoal. The young guy cooking I had never seen before so I'm trying to cut them some slack. But I know the two lady's that are usually cooking are on point. But even so idk how he could think those were ok to package up and give to me. Will probably give this place one more try to redeem themselves read more

Powers Hamburgers - Supposed to be hamburger lite onions - Burgers Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Had the pleasure of trying Powers Burgers last weekend while in town for a wedding. The perfect post-reception midnight snack! Some of the locals we were with hyped them up as better White Castles, and as a fan of White Castle, I was a little disappointed these weren't as salty. But the buns were so soft and they were delicious with a dab of hot sauce. read more

Powers Hamburgers - 3 cheeseburgers at 11pm. Nothing better. - Burgers Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Americana Perfection. No nonsense, no frills. Just great hand-made old school sliders. Love the Chilli-Even the Soda has a "good throw" A national culinary treasure, for sure. Like a time machine... read more

Waitress 3/22/23 at 6:45pm was disrespectful and extremely rude. I won't give a business that mistreats customers like this any more of my money, and I'd advise you to do the same. read more

Good sliders. Rude but entertaining workers. They definitely had an attitude but clearly are hard workers and it shows. Management is having them count every dime! They are lucky to have such good workers. read more

Call first because the hours they posted are wrong and I actually don't even know if still open!! Went by the place a couple times and they were close but it says their still in business. But the burgers are good read more

It's a good place to grab you a slider greasy little burger. Beware if you get carry out. The smell of the onions from these burgers will ruin a black Man's Cadillac new car scent quick. Even over powers the Gerry Weave hair scent. Powers be stinking up some stuff, them burgers potent. After slamming a a half dozen sliders.... I'm sitting on the bar stool thinking where is the restroom? A few little wet ones came out and finally soaked through to the bar stool. Check Please! Very good though, awesome in fact. No restroom at a sliders shop? Me disappoint read more

Right in the heart of downtown. This place served a great slider with great prices. You want to order at least two of the doubles. If they added a little seasoning to the burger it would be fantastic. read more

They've changed their buns. It's more bread than meat. I don't like the new buns. It's too much bread.

Let me preface this with, we love dives. We showed up on a Monday so we went back Tuesday after realizing the hours change. No biggie. They closed at 8pm and we arrived at 7:15pm. The girl working the counter was a compete b*tch when we ordered. The burgers were gross. We love onions but there were more grilled onions than burger and bun. None of the burgers had cheese (we'd ordered 2 sacks, one with cheese and the other without). We ended up eating 3 burgers and gave the rest to an older gentleman who seemed very appreciative. We definitely won't be back. read more

They are everything they claim to be and nothing more. Expect sliders that taste the way White Castle claims they do. And if you don't like onions, say something because the onions are the draw here. No fries available, chips only. This is a burger place and you've come for the burger, so focus on that. While White Castle are pre- formed, these are handmade and might crumple up a bit so press down to keep those onions and meat together. Located behind the ball field. read more

Delicious burgers in a pretty sketchy area. Comparing this to white castle is an insult. Powers is far superior--the onions beautifully caramalized, the chopped burger juicy and the bun perfect. I could eat a dozen if I wanted to, even though I shouldn't. read more

I used to love this place but don't know if I will visit this establishment again. Ordered three cheeseburgers, only one had an adequate amount of hamburger on it. The other two were just bread and onions. They did replace one of the burgers after I showed the lady how little meat it had on it, but the replacement was so thin I couldn't even taste the meat. Vey sad to see they are willing to serve bread and onions in place of cheeseburgers. Not sure if Mike ( male who was operating grill) owns the joint, if he does shame on him for trying to offer such a poor product to customers. read more

If you are wanting white castle this is the place to be. It is several steps above white castle while still having a steamed burger. It was delicious. read more

Introducing my kids to this gem in Ft. Wayne. I would choose their burgers over the vast majority of burger places in town. If you like White Castle, you will love this place! read more

I'm glad I went just to say that I've been, but the sliders were just okay. I haven't been compelled to return since.

BEST SLIDERS IN THE MIDWEST!!! Been doing the same menu since 1940. Only think changed is some breakfast options. AWESOME pie & cakes..... Get there Early great donut selection too. We always get Double cheese burgers with the onions well done & Franks Red Hot read more

Powers Hamburgers - Double cheese burger with well done onions a lil Frank's & a lil mustard..... BEST $1.90 you'll spend - Burgers Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Simply the best burger I have ever had in Ft. Wayne. You just can't find anything better

Greasy, oniony goodness in a truly one-of-a-kind atmosphere. A great little spot hidden downtown. Yummy!

In town for a visit the other day and Powers is always a stop we MUST make! These burgers remind me of long ago memories and still have that same taste! Service was fast and the burgers were delicious!!! read more

Powers Hamburgers is a small little mom and pop joint that gradually expanded itself into new locations, but eventually regressed back into the single location just south of the convention center downtown. It is exactly the kind of local place that I love to find. Serving up breakfast and lunch from a limited menu, they are mostly known for their burgers, technically called sliders since the buns are steamed. I love when you get them to go and your vehicle smells like them for days afterward!!!! lol read more

The sliders are bomb but if you go in there you will smell like onions for the rest of the day

So good. I tried a ham and cheese for the first time. It was delicious too. But when the food exits. It doesn't exit nicely. read more

Powers Hamburgers - Mmmhmm! - Burgers Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Stopped by the location based on reading other Yelp reviews and thought it was okay. Unfortunately, I guess I was expecting a little better. My wife on the other hand thought it was great. As soon as we got out if the car we were welcomed by the overwhelming aroma of onion. If it's not your thing, you ought to consider visiting a different place because the aroma increases as you enter the building. As others have mentioned, the burgers are somewhat similar to White Castle... However, I would argue that White Castle is a bit better. The location is a bit on the small side and set up like a little diner. When there I thought it odd to see a customer seasoning his own burgers with salt, but after taking my first couple bites into my own burger I understood a bit more why. The meat seemed to be under seasoned or completely left unseasoned and was lacking in flavor. The onions on the burger however were extremely flavorful. Despite this, I would have liked to have my onions chopped into smaller bits rather than left has huge dangling slices on the burger. The size of the burger is slightly bigger than that of White Castle, so you may wish to order two to three pending in your hunger level. The price was truly decent and very inexpensive. If your looking for a burger fix with some delicious onions on top, take some time to pay a visit. read more

If you like overpriced slimy, gross sliders, then this is your place. Growing up, I've heard so much about Powers. Finally went with some friends after a tincaps game. Completely showed how low class Fort Wayne truly is. Terrible sliders, more onion then meat, and overcharge you for everything. Sliders? more expensive then White Castle, Fries? worse than Steak and Shake, drinks? Smaller than a gas station and three times as expensive. Dirty, small, low class. Bottom line. Anything Powers does, White Castle does better. Never going there again. And Fort Wayne needs some real class in their glorified "local eateries" read more

Did a little road trip last Saturday to Fortwayne(the wife wanted to restock on her Lush supplies). This hole in the wall, more like a tiny shack in the corner of a huge parking lot, happen to showed up in the list of must eat in Fortwayne, so we just had to try. I do like those tiny Whitecastle sliders, but Powers is like the old school, no-holds-barred, no-reservation version of sliders. Just juicy, greasy, oniony(yummy grilled onions), and tasty. Well after we chowed down 2 double cheese sliders each around 3pm, we decided to cancel our josephdecuis 6pm reservation coz we were stuffed. Definitely a must try if you like burgers/sliders and find yourself in the Fortwayne area. read more

My family & I come here every time we make it to the Fort to visit family. My Parents, Aunts & Uncle tell stories of coming here when they were younger & still till this day how they love coming back. They use to pay $0.25/ burger and now they are approx. $1.50. I love this place, as it feels like a historic landmark with lots of good memories. But of course the important part is how great the food taste. We stick to the cheeseburgers with onions. Also when they aren't slammed they can fit in a good grilled cheese on sliced bread - which is one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've had. I look forward to eating here again in a few years, when I make it back to the Fort :) read more

Powers Hamburgers - classic burger shop - Burgers Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Nice little burgers but could barely taste any cheese on it. Overall I'd go back but this time I'd eat it there instead of taking to go. The burgers were smothered with grilled onions grilled hard - just the way I like them but lacked taste. Not only were the burgers tiny but so was the seating area. Service was fine. I noticed other Yelp reviewers didn't like the service but what can you expect??? Sure those guys in there have a little attitude and look pissed but I'd be too if I were stuck in there for 8hrs a day flippin burgers and answering dumb questions. I could see this being a late night place I would migrate after getting the munchies!!! read more

I haven't been to Powers in awhile, but I'm sure it hasn't changed much or lost it's touch! Powers is the king of sliders. You can put it up to White Castle or any other slider burger out there across America and Powers will still be standing! Man, you start tearing into them and you just want to order 10 more, then when you're done order 10 to go! It's a tiny small diner with a few seats and you get that I'm in the 1950's. But I wouldn't know that, I was born in 79! But the setting is old school, is what I"m trying to say! When I turned 21, we used to stop by there late night after many alcoholic beverages and nothing could be better than a pile of burgers from there. The grilled onions just set off these burgers and small slice of cheese, maybe throw some K&M on there. Man o man. Plus I just have to say, these burgers are also amazing in a sober state too! Just be ready to smell like Powers the rest of the day if you step into the shop! But there really isn't anything wrong with that!!! read more

very disappointing on the burgers they were disgusting. the buns was different there was too much bread the meat was unseasoned it didn't taste like it used to. an they are closed on a lot of days that the hours says online we wasted gas three times Bc they was post to be open. After finally getting it the food was nasty it got thrown away when we got home read more
